Adjustment Plate for PMX
For anyone waiting on Santa to drop a PMX down your chimney (preferably sooner than 25/12) you may be interested in the adjustment plate I'm getting made. It fits the shape of the PMX Base (8.85" square with a 3" x 1" protrusion on the polar side where the azimuth adjustment is. It has the 7.45" square 3/8 x 24TPI holes to receive the bolths from the Mount Base and has 4 x 1/2" 20TPI (might be 21 but I can't remember off hand) holes that on mine are 148mm centres to suite my OPegasus pier but could be any other pattern you want to suit what you have. This one is being made out of 16mm plate steel which is probably a bit of overkill.
I decided that I'd just paint it rather than powder-coat at this stage. So the cost will be pretty modest. I pick it up Thuirsday this week so all will be revealed then I guess. But if anyone else wants this guy to make one for them, I can give you his web address etc.
